PC at Lowe's for $47.60

Hey, Moe! · 12-23-06, 09:31

I stopped by the local Lowe's store (midway on I-80 here in PA) for some charcoal this morning.

Most people cook hams, etc., for Christmas. I grill and BBQ.

Anyway, I stopped to see how low the PCs were selling for. I have an 8-year-old, still going strong, but I was curious.

How about $47.60?

My store had three, and the sale mentioned that it was a closeout.

I don't need one, but the thought picking up a spare for under $50 is tempting. And, a PC is enough for my personal use.

I may go back out, right after I wash my car ; )

Oh man, I HAVE to go to Lowes. I've always decided that I wasn't going to buy a PC because I simply don't have the money. Now that the price is cut by nearly 60%, I think I can use some of my New Year's money to buy it. And I can't go today because we have a family reunion. Hopefully there will still be more left in stock tomorrow...

Crap. I already told myself that I had quit buying things for the year except a few more trips to restaurants...

Now I want new shoes

And now this...??

Stop torturing me!

Hmmm...buy 3 at $50 = $150
Sell 2 here at $75 each = free PC!

Hmm, I have a Cyclo and 2 PCs but one is broken (probably the cord but not positive). $47 would be cheaper than fixing the one I have I bet. I had planned on fixing it and attaching one of the Cyclo carpet scrubbers to it for use in tight spots the Cyclo won't reach. I may just head on down to Lowe's...

wow talk about cheap.

Interesting... I saw a Craftman PC last night at the local PB/BX (military store) for $39. I wondered if it was any good. It included the bucket and polishing pads.

I ran by one of our local Lowes stores last night but they were $89. I even had him check the price in the computer and it came up the same. It's kind of odd how much the price seems to vary from store to store, or rather area to area. I don't really need another one, but for $50 it'd be nice to have a spare.

I was in a Lowe's today and looked at the PC's, still $99.xx

yeah, you would think that ALL the lowes store's have the same price in their systems

. i had to bring in the manager to get the $65 price for mine...

Maybe I'll print out the receipt from the following thread and see what the store says:

hopefully, it works (it may not due to region). i called the local lowes, gave them the item number (#51472)and asked how much it was (she quoted $65.xx) and asked if i went to another lowes (had her do a search on what other stores nearby had them) if she would vouch for me if they called her and she said no problem. when i went down to a different one, the lady in the department where the power tools were, said she couldn't go any lower as it was already on sale for $89.xx. i asked for the mananger and explained to him the situation and mentioned it was a non-stock item they're no longer going to carry and he gave me the price with no problems. it was a bit of work but worth it...
